Healing In His Name

Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Acts 3:1-8
New International Version

Peter Heals a Lame Beggar

3 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

Family, what a powerful Scripture passage we have this evening. Once again, the power and authority of the name of Jesus is shown so clearly.

Two things are happening at the same time. First, Peter and John were exactly where God wanted them to be. They were on their way to the temple to pray, making themselves available to be used by Him. How many blessings, opportunities, and divine appointments happen when we simply remain obedient to God’s leading?

Second, even though Peter and John were well-known disciples of Jesus, they understood where their authority ended and Jesus’ authority began. Peter told the beggar, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Family, so many times we become consumed by our problems when we should be looking beyond our problems to the One who is greater than them. Peter did not focus on what he lacked. He focused on Who he had. He had Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

We are rich beyond measure because we have Jesus.

The name of Jesus brings healing, restoration, and wholeness. He is able to touch every area of our lives. Sometimes He heals bodies. Sometimes He heals hearts. Sometimes He restores relationships. Sometimes He mends wounds that no one else can see.

His healing reaches into every part of our lives:

• Emotional healing
• Relational healing
• Spiritual healing
• Healing from grief, shame, guilt, and brokenness

Whatever needs healing tonight, there is still power in the name of Jesus. Don’t be afraid to trust Jesus.

Let Us Pray

Lord Jesus, we stand in awe of Your timing.

Every day, this man was brought to the gate called Beautiful. Every day, he sat in the same place, with the same condition, asking for the same help. And yet, on this day, the day recorded in Your Word, everything changed.

Why this day, Lord? Why not yesterday? Why not the year before? Why not sooner?

And yet we see that nothing about this moment was accidental. You had already ordained the steps of Peter and John. You had already prepared the heart of the man who was asking. And in the right moment, You revealed that Your power had been present all along.

Teach us to trust Your timing, even when we do not understand it.

Teach us to believe that delays are not denials, and that what feels like waiting is never wasted in Your hands.

Lord, just as You did at the gate called Beautiful, meet us in our own “today” moments. The places where we have grown used to waiting. The places where we have learned to survive instead of expect.

And when Your moment comes, open our eyes to recognize that You were never absent. Lord, you were preparing, positioning, and perfecting what we could not see.

We surrender our timelines to You. We surrender our understanding to You. And we trust that You are still the God who steps into ordinary days and makes them holy with Your presence.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen, Amen and Amen.
